2/3/99: TRINITI UNVEILS RUSSIA'S FIRST IMPULSE NEUTRON ACCELERATOR
In a ceremony led by Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bulgak and Minister of Science and Technology Mikhail Kirpichnikov, TRINITI unveiled Russia's first impulse neutron accelerator.[1]  The accelerator was built at a cost of 180 million rubles ($7.8 million as of 3 February 1999), with 120 million rubles allocated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Russian Academy of Sciences.[2]  The remaining 60 million rubles was raised by the institute itself.  The accelerator is the most powerful in the world, with a capacity of 220kW.  According to TRINITI director Viktor Matveyev, this could be increased to 2000kW.  The accelerator can accelerate neutrons to 45 percent of the speed of light.  The institute plans theoretical and applied research by both Russian and foreign scientists.  The institute plans to earn money from foreign scientists using the accelerator.
